Hi, I had debulking surgery 25th September 2023. Tumours were taken and I am still waiting for HRD tests to come back 4 months later. Is this normal?

Hello and thanks for your post
I'm afraid we don't know the answer to this question as we are not involved in your clinical care and do not arrange hospital tests. Your specialist team are better placed to advise you on how long it takes for the homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) test to come through. If you have a specialist nurse involved in your care then perhaps they can provide you with further information on this. You often have to call and leave them a message and they will get back to you.
The charity Target Ovarian Cancer has information on their website on HRD here.
I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Kind regards,
Celene
